The district cross-country championships have just started here in Camas. A biological boy is competing and is very likely to take a spot from a girl. No girls walked off in protest since it would immediately end their season, although some girls quit before today.

A wave of death threats and warnings that he'll be "the next Charlie Kirk." Enes Kanter Freedom says all of this is happening because he plans to attend a WNBA Finals game.
The former NBA player tells OutKick he's received "thousands of death threats," including messages featuring footage of Kirk's assassination, as he prepares to attend Wednesday night's matchup in Atlanta.
Freedom says he's coordinating security with federal authorities, while Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's office confirms it connected his team with law enforcement resources.
He's still planning to show up, and his return comes after a heated confrontation at a Chicago Sky game that ended with him being escorted out.
Now he's revealing how he plans to handle another confrontation with a WNBA player. See his response: foxnews.com/outkick-sports/e…

Royce White is exploring "every legal avenue" possible after the WNBA sent a letter to Congress declaring him and Enes Kanter Freedom ineligible for the WNBA Draft because "they are men," as he is not satisfied with the explanation without an official rule change.
"The WNBA has to define what a man and a woman is and why."

Enes Kanter Freedom says he has looked into changing the gender on his birth certificate to make his case to join the WNBA. In New York, a person can change the gender marker their birth certificate through a self-attestation process without needing a medical provider's letter or a court order.
Birth certificate gender changes are a common loophole that women's sports activists highlight when advocating for genetic testing.
